Summary

Pines Middle School in Pembroke Pines, FL, is a public school serving 626 students in grades 6-8 within the Broward district, and it has recently shown a promising upward trend, jumping to the 44th percentile in state rankings—its highest in a decade.

This school has a unique "two-tiered" academic profile. On one hand, it excels at accelerating top students into high school-level coursework, with remarkable End-of-Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates: 90% in Algebra 1, 98% in Geometry, and 91% in Biology 1 for the 2025-2026 school year. These scores far exceed district and state averages and even rival high-performing peers like Pioneer Middle School. On the other hand, the majority of students struggle with grade-level FAST assessments in Math and English Language Arts, where proficiency rates (e.g., 44% in 6th-grade Math) lag behind district and state averages. This contrast means the school is a powerhouse for advanced learners but faces challenges in bringing all students to grade-level benchmarks.

Encouragingly, Pines Middle School is showing consistent improvement. Its state ranking has risen steadily from the 23rd percentile in 2021-2022 to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026, a trend that sets it apart from nearby schools with more volatile performance. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically to 18.1%, which is significantly better than the district average of 33.6% and lower than many local peers like Driftwood Middle School (33.1%). The school spends $13,358 per student, higher than most nearby schools, though this investment hasn't yet translated to broad grade-level success. For parents, Pines Middle School offers a strong advanced program and a positive trajectory, but it's important to consider whether your child would benefit from the accelerated coursework or need additional support to meet grade-level standards.
